Very nice and Informative

oglalasioux:


Thanks for your response. It shows you read my post thoroughly. I also read yours and there is nothing in it that is untrue.

But do you believe in entanglement of subatomic particles? Why do you think native doctors need a piece of cloth of someone before they can charm him?

I don't claim evidence of any of my assertions therefore my idea can't be science. But I'll tell you one thing; the reasons the African gods cannot die yet were helpless in defending us against diseases and the white man is because they are nothing but manipulations of the laws of physics.

My idea can never hold water in academics. But if you search your heart of hearts, away from trying to make me look uneducated, you'll find it dwelt on some fundamental things that have been bugging your mind since you realized you were a citizen of the universe.

They sometimes need not get the piece of cloth of the person...they most times use pictures(that the person might not even have seen b4) and sometime carve a small statue of the person(which the person had never been in contact with).. What about the long incantations before their voodoo becomes effective?.. seems like you're just mentioning this cloth example to explain your pseudoscientific superstitions.

Anyway, thanks to Antiparticle for debunking most of your bold assertions that are either untrue or hold no water but are mere speculations. And thanks to
you for humbly agreeing that all he said are not untrue, thereby shooting yourself in the leg.

Your "idea can NEVER hold water in the academic world" but you painted it on the front page like its purely and proven scientific assertions(academics)
and even stated it clearly there. Lol

Looking cool
hope your voice is just as sonorous. Bad voice is a turn off for me

Well done Sir

A De-Facto Theist

There is no argument strong enough to totally eliminate the possibility of the existence of God.
No one know it all.
No one can explain reality.

.
And no argument is reasonable enough to prove that there is God.
As soon as you try, you instantly call yourself a fool.
.

This is obviously a battle ground for theists and atheists.
But someone is without this fight, the newly born. He doesn't have an idea of God not a reason to disagree with such an idea.
Though he'll later be forced into one party, he is yet free of the burden.
.
But this distinction is contestable. Such a person who neither believes in God nor in the non existence of God is only possible in philosophy. To the regular theist, 'you are either for us or against us', he is thus an atheist for them.
But within my context, such a view blessed with illiteracy. Since, just because there is no war doesn't mean there is peace.
.
But such a person, really is the natural man/woman. She is not yet corrupted with the burdens of fears or the so called realized freedom, nor is he any reason to like or hate some class of people.
.
Thus, atheism or theism are corruption to the natural / real man/woman.

Me: I heard THEY are scared of Fynestboi, bet why?? Isn't it the case that they are conceding Jonathanian defeat even before Jega's announcement?

Let them soe (show) me the necessary connection between being a mod and not contesting, then I'd cross-carpet..

@JohnyDon22, pls I have a somewhat funny question but that has been bothering me since I read about inter-stellar stuff..

Why do stars(Planets, galaxies) seem to twinkle when viewed from earth?

and eerm, if the universe is infinitely spacious, how did we come about knowing about the black hole at the CENTRE...there shouldn't be any centre right?

Can a student volunteer?

Hi peeps...Philosophy fresh students in the house who need help on how to go about course registration and inquire about courses to register should do well to contact me on this number:08125633070.

Hoping to meet y'all soon, happy resumption in advance.

Do Philosophical hypothesis accept religious thesis?
E.g in the above question someone asked what is the essence of man on earth when he will die latter. Assuming i was to adumbrate on this, will religious ideologies (probably Christian Doctrines)be allowed for me to use to prove my point?

you'd first need to argue for the position that these religious ideologies you intend using are true or really plausible, from there, you can then move on to make your assertions about the essence of man on earth.
In short, a 'religious thesis' rationally analyzed is no more a religious thesis (since it'd no more be dogmatically believed with FAITH but by rational justification).
This thread is becoming really dry!

Aristotle in his famous saying puts it that 'BEING QUA BEING' meaning Being is being or Being for being. Also the Great existentialist, Martin Heidegger said Being is a thing into death, meaning existence of a being is also a movement towards it's death therefore Being is nothing.

Going from the authorities above, Being is a metaphysical entity that moves in a vicious circle of empty and void purpose. Being is what most see as the essence of existence but this is wrong. I see being in the same light Heidegger sees it. As something that is nothing, that is continually moving towards emptiness.

Since being doesn't have essence on it's own with other things defining him, then Being is JUST nothing. For example, if a child is born today, that child is still a being but what begins to define his beingness is essence and what are these essence? The name he will be given,the language and culture he will learn to give him an identity, the educational line he will toll to make him know things because he came to the world not knowing. So being is actually nothing until these things starts defining him which is the essence. And as the Existentialists will put it "existence precede essence"
This means that for a being to be important, he must exist first before having essence, that he cannot have essence without existing. So the main attribute of a Being is that it must exist. A wood is a being according to my postulation. Humans are beings, cars are beings. All of these are beings because they exist in reality and they all have no purpose without essence, something to give it meaning.

The difference between Humans and Trees or cars under the concept of Beingness, is what Existentialists categorize as Being and being (big Being and small being). This is a discourse for Other day

For the future to be known,

I'd advice the great philosophers in the house to wear their thinking cap and provide a sensible rationale to the above aphorism.

Let begin!

.....Let's hold every position tentatively and constantly subject our views and positions to critical analysis.

waiting for my ogas tho

Oluwacolded:
Man do not die but they transmigrate. There is nothing like purpose in the universe. The world itself came randomly or by chance. God did not create the universe and as such as no knowledge about it. Man is the only being that exist has opined by martin Heidegger meaning it is only man that can make meaning out of meaningnessless. Your fore fathers soul is still alive. The Africans are truly philosophers because they believe in this authentic philosophy about life, they believe in ancestors.

Transmigrate to where?

You mean my forefathers' souls are still alive, please tell me where they are and how to communicate with them....in fact, how do you know sef....
it won't be nice to pass up the chance to ask them some questions o..

ifenes:


Annunaki,according to ancinet knowledge were mineral explorers from other galaxies who stumbled on out planet earth through a portal(Gate of Heaven,or a Stargate,Jacob's Ladder) whichever way you want to call it. They had been for millions of years,and were themselves genetically modified at some point. Out there according to the Vedas,Sumerian tablets,are billions of galaxies and millions of life forms. That is enough to know that genetic alterations have always been taking place.

You don't have to single out Jehovah. Jehovah is only an Hebrew name to an extraterrestrial,who was only one of millions of Annunaki. According to the Egyptians,the gods were themselves genetically modified. Today, humans are already doing that. Boob jobs,butt jobs and even IVF. God is only a title given to an extraterrestrial. They are nothing without advanced technology. If you go back 3,000 year with your electronic gadgets,the humans will worship you.

You've not answered any of my questions now #curious

ifenes:


Then who created Jehovah? Our ancestors who evolved on this planet got in contact with ancient visitors at some point,who in turned added their DNA to ours.

If your question is 'who created Jehovah?' then I'd like to ask who created the Annunakis?
how did they add their DNA to ours?
You mean we were created by them?

or life had already existed before they came? If yes, how come?.. if no, then why did they create us and left? and haven't we heard from them since then?

KingEbukasBlog:


Thought processes require consciousness . Processing information picked from our environment shows that we are aware of our surroundings - to cover your nose when your perceive an obnoxious smell , to run for cover when you hear gun shots , the smile back at a pretty girl , to be left transfixed or mesmerized by art . We are certain of our existence because we can experience our surroundings - we are real . Its more of a philosophical proof our existence . 'I am' - a fact of existence God - I am that I am .

And this perhaps spreads out to understanding that whatever we perceive in our surroundings too is real because we are certain of our existence as people who can think . But if it directly implies that everything that is , thinks no .

So whatever we perceive or that we think we are perceiving is real?... so if I perceive a small pool of water on the road ahead( Mirage) then it means that there is actually a pool water there?...so whatever I perceive while hallucinating exists?

johnydon22:


so can one rightly say, Plants photoreceptiveness (awareness or consciousness) are dependent on Matter, Phototropins?

Can one rightly say this Photoreceptiveness (consciousness) is a product of Matter (Phototropins)?

"Light not only activates phototropins , but
also affects the level of their expression"

Does this not indicate that this matter ( Phototropins) is activated by something too? ....I hope this doesnt lead to infinite regress...#Following by the way#

Explorers:
Our world today is almost unrecognizable from a century ago, so what can we expect jumping a century ahead? This was compiled by a group of scientists, architects and urban planners who have some great insight into what our world will look like in 100 years.

It's really going to be an amazingly comfortable world, though with very high cost of living.. wish to still be alive then.

My own addition: Trade by barter will be in place among we 'earthians' ( earth citizens) and our brothers from other planets (e.g Keplerians and others).lol

But, ain't we being too optimistic??

Hmm now we know them looters

As a really curious person, I have been following the arguments for and/or against the existence of a supreme being who has the power to tweak the laws of nature in exigent circumstances (or arbitrarily).

Truthfully speaking, Both the position for and against the existence of supernatural powers and its possessor have been backed up with good and cogent reasons. However, I have always held the position that looking closely at the analysis provided by both positions, there's no conclusive and indubitable evidence from both sides to put the age-long argument to bed.
Admittedly, recently, scientific explanations have made me start questioning many answers provided by religionists on issues related to the issue on ground...
Well, not until I witnessed a particular event did I realize that it is highly probable that supernatural powers exist..
The event occurred sometime last week when two motorcyclists were engaging in serious physical battle and one of them left the scene for a corner to insert a ring into his middle finger, before anyone could hold him back, he had hit the other motorcyclist with the hand where the ring was..consequently, the hit motorcyclist fell down flat immediately,started vomiting blood and later became unconscious and was rushed off the scene.

I don't know if he survived but i sure know the cause of his predicament!

My question then is, was that coincidental or it was some extraterrestrial power at work?...Additionally,how can we explain African belief in voodoo and how it has been working from time immemorial or can anyone provide a scientific explanation?


NB: I witnessed everything with my ' korokoro' eyes and I don't think my eyes deceived me.
